okay I think I want to buy the tool considering it takes 1 1/2 hours for a shop to do it. I see pullers for $12 but are they the ones I want? I can't rent the tool cause the place said it was broken. stupid! So does anyone know what tool i can buy?

Cool. Let us know how the swap goes.
Of course, now you'll be popular with the local Ford gang.
Just looked up your town on the web. Looks like a beautiful place. I visited Maine once as a child, and remember that it was very nice up there.

okay bringing this thread back to life, I am going outside to "try" and install this pump. I am in no way a mechanic but I do try. I bought the pulley installer/remover for $25 and that's waaaaaay cheaper than getting a shop to do it. It sounds pretty straight forward but its only 5* celcius outside so ouch it might be kinda cold. But mid day is coming so it'll warm up. I'll let everyone know how it went and how long it should generally take a regular dude to do this. Thanks ya'll..

Update:
Holy Crap Batman! Is what I was saying when trying to pull the pulley. What a nightmare. As I was working away I noticed my little pulley set was getting really damaged. I guess I only need to once so I am ok. The pulley came off but not without a fight. We tried heat, penetrating oil and just muscle but the ole' girl just wanted to stay on the almost dead pump. When it came off I gave my arms a rest. Now a pump from 1989 will fit in fact they are EXACTLY the same. Its funny the dealer wanted $400 and I got this one for $85. Nice.
So I installed it back onto the bracket and pressed the pulley back on...ha it went on with no effort at all it was disgusting how easy it was to put back together. So I am just getting something to eat now and I'll be out to put it back on the engine. In the dark tho. I'll let you know if it whines really bad or if I scored something good for once.

UPDATE: After reinstalling the pump and bracket assembly into the truck I noticed that the fittings are different. The pressure line fitting that goes into the pump from the steering box is smaller on a 1989. Please be aware of this, as I have to get a new high pressure line with a fitting for 1989 and adapt that into the current 1994 truck. Other than that the pump installs perfect, looks exactly the same and I'm sure will function perfect.

I went to ford today and they can get me the metal thing that goes in the pump which holds the pressure, and the pressure hose. Except there's one problem. Those parts together cost more than a rebuilt pump itself. Like what the hell? I can buy a rebuilt pump for cheaper than I can buy 2 little parts? Stupid ford.

You should be able to just get the fitting, and have a hose made to fit. Any farm store or Tractor dealer will have the equipment necessary to make the hose.
Actually, if you just take that pressure fitting out of the pump and dowmn to Deere or Massey, or whoever your local AG dealer is, they should be able to fit that. I believe that fitting is an o-ring boss, if I remember correctly.

f-liner,
The fitting (FEMALE) that goes into the pump housing from the high pressure hose (MALE) is the wrong size. The one on the pump is smaller than the one on hose. So its just not going to work. Plus i need the small filter-like item that's used to hold the pressure in the pump. So without that little jem she won't run/work right at all.
So its not just all about the hose its about the spring and check valve inside the pump. Its stupid and I'll have the rebuilt pump tomorrow and it better not whine or I'm going to spaz. update soon.
